Deer on the Brain!

If you're a hunter, like me, it's going to be tough to stay focused this week.  Sunday, the 15th marks opening day of the 2015 firearms deer season in Michigan.  Throughout the state, hunters will be gathering around to share old tales (some even true) from years past and build memories to share around future camp fires.  This year is going to be extra special as I have the huge pleasure of bringing my oldest daughter, Autumn, to deer camp for the first time.  At 14, I think she's ready to endure the predictable ribbing she'll receive from her uncles, cousins and family friends.  She'll be forced to keep everyone's drinks cold and clear any empties from the card table as the junior hunter in camp (affectionately referred to as "beer dog").  I'm sure she'll also lose a bit of change at the poker table as she tries to figure out which hands are best and to NEVER draw to an inside straight.

Since she was 6 years old she's been joining me during bow season and, in more recent years, during the youth hunt where she managed to tag a deer of her own two years ago.  At the range yesterday she showed she's becoming a heck of a marksman (woman..?)  by out-shooting a number of the more senior men at the bench.  The memories I've built with her are impossible to describe as it's often tough for a middle aged dad and teenage daughter find common ground.  For us, it's found in the woods and without it, we certainly wouldn't have the relationship we do.

If you get invited to join a buddy or family member at deer camp, go.  It's an experience you'll surely carry with you forever and one that will have you anxious to carry on those traditions for yourself.  From card games to cutting wood, fixing up an old blind or putting up a new stand, the time spent at camp is among the best time spent each year.  It's one of the only occasions when the snack table consists of delicacies such as pickled bologna, liverwurst, creamed herring, venison jerky, or smoked fish all at the same time...

As you head to camp, make sure to keep old traditions alive, maybe invent some new ones and try to introduce someone else to the experience we all treasure so much.  So here's to a safe and successful hunt!  Throw back a few buck snorts (shot with 1/2 ginger brandy and 1/2 peppermint schnapps) and enjoy another great year in the deer woods!

Perhaps the best buy EVER on The Au Sable River

 While this home isn't inexpensive, it is truly one of the best deals I've seen in my 15 years of selling these properties in terms of what you get for the money.  Recently reduced to $374,900, someone is sure to make their move on it soon.  Situated on over 11 acres of wooded land and overlooking nearly 300' of spectacular South Branch Au Sable frontage, the setting is idyllic.

This area of The South Branch, downstream of M-72, is extremely private with very little public access and virtually no commercial canoe traffic.  The bottom consists of mostly gravel and cobble and the brook and brown trout that swim here tend to be among the most deeply colored you'll find in the system.  The home is just 10 years old and features a very open, spacious floor plan with towering cathedral ceilings in the great room.  An enormous island kitchen would surely suit the needs of even the most particular chef in the family.  The upstairs was created as a spacious master suite with a large bedroom, beautifully tiled bathroom with garden tub and huge shower, and a vaulted open area perfect for a gym, home office or reflection space.  The unfinished basement is plumbed for an additional bathroom and could be easily finished for added living space.  A roomy screened porch and extensive wrap around covered porch provide plenty of outdoor living space as well.

A detached garage close to the main house provides parking for vehicles.  A third building offers a huge workshop space with drive in door on the lower level and a three bedroom guest cottage on the upper level.  This guest cottage has a large living area, fully functional kitchen and a full bath.  It's perfect for providing privacy for visiting family and friends.

The property adjoins 1,000's of acres of Huron National Forest to the west and privacy is ensured thanks to State Land across the river.  Click HERE for complete listing details,

We recently had these 3D virtual tours produced to try to convey just how spectacular this place is.  It's incredible technology that allows you to truly see every bit of the house as if you're there in person.  The first is of the home and the second is of the guest cottage / workshop.  Please take some time and check it out.

When you're ready to actually take a private tour, reach out to Chad Brown, Broker, by email at chad@homewaters.net or by phone at (231) 499-8292

A big sale for Associate Broker Steve Shaw boosts Northern Michigan Hunting Market

Congratulations to Associate Broker, Steve Shaw, who just completed the sale of one of the highest priced recreational acreage parcels to sell in years.  Steve represented the 1,200 acre "Big Ten" camp located within The Consolidated Hunting League near Hubbard Lake.  The property features a private lake, a trout stream and a number of ponds, including one that is right in front of the cabin and stocked with large trout.  The modern Lodge offers very comfortable accommodations and a 32 x 48 barn provided space for equipment vehicles and all the hunting gear.  The property sold for $2,140,000 making it among the highest sales in recent history for this type of property and the highest to date for Homewaters.  Steve joined Homewaters early last year and has been dominating the acreage and lakefront markets in the northeastern corner of Michigan since that time.  His success is mostly attributed to his innate drive to succeed and willingness to work as hard as needed to reach his goals.  A military veteran, he's a man of few words and simply gets the job done.  If you, or anyone you know, has a real estate need in northeastern Michigan, reach out to Steve at your first convenience and rest assured that you'll be in good hands.  Click HERE to learn more about Steve.

This is the second significant sale in this segment for Homewaters in 2015.  Sales Associate, Vince Edwards, represented the buyer on another large acreage parcel on Kalkaska County's Rapid River earlier this year for $1,480,000 which was another exceptional sale in the otherwise flat recreational acreage market.

In recent years, Homewaters has made a concerted effort to expand into this market and it's paying off for our clients.  Earlier this year we added Sales Associate, Jason Manderbach, who's representing hunting and agricultural acreage for the firm in central Michigan and points south.  Jason is one of only a few people in the state of Michigan who has received an FAA exemption for his use of an aerial drone for commercial photography as a part of his real estate business.  Drone imagery has proven to be a true asset with these type of properties that are often difficult to represent with simple photos due to their sheer size and often unique features.

Our newest addition is Sales Associate, Preston Bovee, who will be joining our firm in the coming weeks. Preston comes to Homewaters with a video production background within the outdoors industry and a strong passion for hunting and fishing.  With these additions and a concerted effort to provide an exceptional experience for those looking to buy or sell acreage property, Homewaters is positioned to be the finest resource for hunting, agricultural and acreage properties throughout all but the southern most portions of Michigan.
